distilled white vinegar, in moderation, can have the same effect, with less severe downsides. my clothes actually dry better with it, since it neutralizes and removes the alkaline detergents that never fully rinse out in a normal water wash. it requires some finesse to know what fabrics to use it on, but I’ve had great results with it

it’s very easy to enter wrong numbers on a calculator, but you need some basic reasoning and familiarity to know when an answer is off, and you need to start over

or a watch!

working on the night soup

you’re a master of minestrone, and bread bowls, for everyone!

so, Team Rocket is the Yakuza, and Silph Co. is Nintendo? that plot in the original games was a cry for help?

if it vibrates intentionally, it is, in fact, a “vibrator”

work in the right factory, and you may get to experience “erectors” too!

same size top/bottom for both; only difference is that the standard has a wider body bevel, and the sleek can goes nearly straight down. same lid on both cans, as well. not sure what it does for the scaled material cost, but since the lid is by far the most expensive part, it’s probably negligible, compared to the ability to inflate the price on a taller can.

I can’t fully explain the trend, but ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages are a big hit for the industry, and even moreso when presented in the truly/high noon shape. maybe it’s a generational thing? I don’t get it, but I’m also not the target demographic.

bonus fact: the conversion costs of filling sleek cans is pretty steep for most independent brewers, so craft beer will take a couple years to adapt, if ever.

and both of those cans use the same size lid

gets me through the day

I’d settle for going back a couple decades to entirely tactile controls and no touch screens in cars

maintenance life

“the machine doesn’t work!”

“what’s the alarm code say?”

“it’s just not working!”

“what is it supposed to be doing and why did it stop?”

“I didn’t do anything, it just stopped!”

I’m finally over the feeling of going into comment sections thinking “there’s too many bots, no reason to try adding to the conversation”

reddit had no middle ground between new posts that get buried and overinflated posts that have a thousand regurgitated phrases plastered all over it

…or a pleasure device

you decide which is worse

just watched a sadly hilarious video of a mechanic struggle with reverse threads on highly specific rotating assembly. like, I get it, it’s not immediately obvious, but edit that wrong turn out if you want to make a serious explainer series. also, if you work with pivots that often, you have to expect that shit.

shit, guess I’m replacing the whole thing now

“little bolt no good anymore” - maybe don’t use caveman strength on an 8mm bolt that holds no weight???

bold choice
